Washington, November 1 (RHC)-- The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments Monday in two cases that aim to end race-conscious admissions decisions by colleges and universities.
During nearly five hours of arguments, the court’s far-right supermajority appeared sympathetic to arguments that the admissions process violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution, and the Civil Rights Act.
This comes as at least nine states have already chosen to end consideration of race in university admissions.
